Rise and shine for another good day of riding,and today i started very early at 6.40 am.The reason for this early start is because i did not cook my breakfast and also i did not put up my tent yesterday. I knew the Rumoi town is just a few km away. After my breakfast in Rumoi, and onto route 232 along the western coast of Hokkaido, it will be nice for a change and when I have had enough of coastal ride, then i will go inland again.Surprisingly, the wind started to blow from my left , and then changes its direction from the back and this really help a lot when there were rolling hills, in this windy coastline, there is no surprise to see many wind turbines around. On such a good weather ,an early start and help by a strong tailwind, have contributed to my longest distance clocked since Korea - 106 km and that too with the many road stations stop. The coastal town that i passed today namely Obira,Tomamae,Haboro,Shosanbetsu,and finally found a camping park in Enbetsu,very close to the sea, the wind is very strong, so i had to set mp tent under the shelter of a wooden house. Tomorrow,if everything fine, should be able to arrive in Wakkanai.
